Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper

Ecuadorian Habano

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Ecuadorian Habano wrapper has become one of the most used cigar wrappers in the market. Grown primarily by the Oliva family, this tobacco originated from Habano or H2000 seeds brought to Ecuador from Cuba. This leaf is rich and flavorful thanks to the temperate climate of Ecuador and the quality of its volcanic soil.

Binder

Nicaragua

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.

This cigar has an amazing look. The roll is clean and burns fairly even. Aroma and taste is in-between mild and medium with little after taste. Lasted me 9 holes on the golf course and had me wishing I had another one for the back 9

I simply enjoyed this cigar, since I chose to smoke my cheaper cigars to begin outdoor season in New England. My palate was weak, but this cigar tasted and burnt exceptionally well and the price is right.

I am always game for trying a cigar I know nothing about -- hence this new Casa Cuevas Habano robusto! This is a three country blend -- Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar comes in three sizes. Upon first light, natural tobacco notes are upfront along with woody and fruity notes. A slight amount of black pepper is in the background. Into the second third, the woody and fruity note are still upfront but are blended together extremely satisfying. The last third picked up pretty much the same notes , but woody notes took the rein to the very end. The construction was spot on -- the cigar burned cool to the very end, burn rate was perfect, and this cigar definitely produced a nice amount of smoke output! The cigar started off as a medium strength cigar and turned into a med/full bodied smoke. It never got too sweet or too spicey--great balance throughout. I would definitely smoke again and will also venture into their other blends. Enjoy!

Get your hands on one of these! I purchased a single on a fluke and WOW, this is a very nice cigar. This is not a mild to medium cigar, nor is it a medium to strong cigar. This is an absolute medium strength cigar. The roll is firm, tight, and very well made. The burn and draw are perfect. Creamy smooth, and nutty. I will certainly be purchasing more of these. If I didn’t know I would have thought this was a Habanos Punch Tubo.
